Quick take: Mardaani 3 takes forward the saga of Shivani Shivaji Roy, played by Rani Mukerji. This time, she’s up against the beggar-mafia.

‘Mardaani 3’ does stumble at times, especially in the latter half when it deals with sensitive themes in a less nuanced way. The climax is average at beat. Even so, it remains a fairly engaging watch.

Mardaani 3 is definitely a must-watch. While the film stumbles, Rani strongly holds a simple script on her shoulders.

Rani Mukerji gets plenty of scope to shine, seething with anger, screaming, radiating fury, and even taking on hand-to-hand combat in a truly boss-lady role, notes Mayur Sanap.

Filminformation · Komal Nahta

Abhiraj Minawala’s direction is alright but it needed to be far better. His narration of the human drama should’ve evoked claps and tears from the viewers. On the whole, Mardaani 3 is an average fare.

Mardaani 3 may not be the franchise’s sharpest weapon, but it remains a necessary one. It is angry in the right places, flawed in usual ways, and driven by a conviction that refuses to soften for comfort.

Shivani gets to deliver the mandatory speech about how girls and women are perpetual victims, and how there will always be brave ones who come to the rescue, which is fine, but the eagerness to frame Mukherji centre-stage–…

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
